Success after 6 or more cycles on Clomid?

Success after 6 months or more of clomid?
Heartbroken today ladies......my sis in law announced she's pregnant again with her third.
I have just finished my 6th cycle on Clomid and got my AF yesterday
Does anyone know of any success stories of ladies getting pregnant after 6 months of Clomid ? I am beginning to think it's not going to work or it would've done by now??
I Have another appointment on Monday at the fertility clinic and feel sure they will tell me take a break from Clomid? I am only on a 5omg dose and a friend suggested asking for 100mg? Thing is if they know i'm ovulating on 50mg I very much doubt they will increase it?
I am pleased for my sis in law of course but I also feel soooooooo bitter, I would do ANYTHING to be pregnant and would even consider remortgaging/loans etc for possible IVF.
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo upset today ladies

My sil has just found that she is expecting after 11 months on clomid, after 7 months they increased her dose and it worked the following month.

Never give up hope, it will happen for you. I am currently waiting on isci treatment due to oh having low sperm count so i totally understand how your feeling xx

i totally understand how u r feeling, i'm on my 6th month of clomid too and due on any day now. i usually have 30 day cycle on clomid but today on cd35, tested 3 days ago and it was bfn so pretty sure af is gonna show this weekend. it's so depressing isn't it. my best friend, her sister and sister in law and quite a few facebook friends are all expecting their 2nd child (all had their 1st too in the time we've trying!)

i don't think my consultant will give me anymore clomid and as we already have a child i think this the end of any fertility treatment on the nhs. totally guttening as there is no way in this world we can afford to fund any ourselves so pretty much screwed i think for having another child.

hopefully tho for you your consultant may give you a higher dose if u were only on 50mg. really hope so anyway.

just wanted to let you know, you are not alone and feel free to message me if you want x

Thank-you

OMG........ how alike we are???!!! Have you been on 50mg or 100mg? Do you not think they will continue you on Clomid after a break? I think my clinic will but only after having a break? The NHS will not provide further treatment I know but I think they will offer me Clomid again? I really hope it's not the end of the fertility road for you or I?!?? Is there ANY chance of you falling naturally? When is your next appointment at your clinic/hospital etc???? I will have to beg steal or borrow to go down the IVF route if needs be otherwise I will always live to regret it.
Take care Mrs, let me know how you are getting on, keep in touch and you never know........being on CD35 might just give you a little surprise in the very near future! FINGERS CROSSED XXX

Thanks Kelly......good to hear that you know of a success story AFTER the first 6 months on Clomid and that it was after they increased the doseage! I am going to try and get the clinic to agree to keep me on Clomid AND increase the dose if I can.....I go back to the clinic on Tuesday so keep everything crossed for me!
Take care and thanks again

hi im only on my 3rd cycle of clomid but didnt wanna read and run. my fs has given me another 3 mths of clomid, same dose of 50mg.....i did mention should it be increased and she said that the follicular scanning showed it worked so theres no point in increasing it. i think in some cases if you take too higher dose it can over stimulate ur ovary and cysts can appear...then you have the risk of losing that ovary....like to mention this is very rare but can happen! we have a 4 year old daughter and we have been told after our 6 mth on clomid that will be it on the nhs.....we have registered ourselves with our local fertilty center and if my lap & dye goes well at end jan/early feb ( waiting 4 the date) then we will try iui at the private fertility center maybe in march/april. i doubt we will ever be able to afford ivf....so much money for such a low chance of successs....but i do want another child soo badly....we would have to save for years!!!!!!!!! xxx

hi ruth, our situations are so similar, i think i remember from another thread we started the clomid just a few days apart, really thought we'd both have our bfp's by now. i'm on cd 37 (well it's midnight so cd38 lol) and still no af but did a test yesterday and again bfn so i have no idea wot is going on, this is the longest cycle i've ever had on clomid.

my consultant told me to take 50mg for first 3 cycles and 100mg for next 3 but i've had no tracking so don't really no if i've ever ovulated on it. he said if i had to go back he would check my tubes for blockages and i think after that it's pretty much up to us to try fund further treatment. there is a chance i could fall naturally, i did with son within 3months of trying on a 60+ day cycle too which my consultant thinks is a miracle as any cycle over 40 days would be annovulatory (obviously not that time tho).

good luck for your appointment at the clinic, please let us know how you get on, hopefully they may give you a higher dose for a few more months.

my update - now on cd52 of my last clomid cycle and still BFN so i'm guessing the clomid just didn't work on probably my last chance to get pregnant

however on a good note, i rang the hospital to make an appointment with my consultant and she told me she would send it in the post but i'd be in for a long wait. she then rang me back 5 mins later to say they have an appointment available this thursday if i want it so took it straight away just hope he doesn't tell me there is nothing else they can do and send me away :S
